TIE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.


CHICAGO, Sept. ia very prominent
member of the national republican com
mittee was in the city to-day and said the
organization of which he was part would
meet at Washington early in December
for the purpose of selecting a location and
date for the republican national conven-
ton of 1855.
The gentleman is a resident of one of
the Western States and member of the
executive committee of the national or
ganiZation. His statement concerning
the meeting of December is the first semi
official announcement of the formal open
ing of the presidential campaign OF 1858.
AS corroborative of the above Mr.. w. B.
Bates, secretary of the republican State
committee of Michigan, spent to-day at
the Palmer House. He said; eff the
people of Chicago expect to capture the
next republican national convention they
had better bestir themselves. st. Louis
wants it; so does Cincinnati. Buffalo is
already in the field"

THE STATE FAIR.
AN IMMENSE THRONG AT HOWARD
PARK THURSDAY,
The Attendance Estimated at from 10000
to I2,OOO--The Triumphal Procession
of Stock-Exciting Races and IA GEN
eral Good Time.

Thursday was a great day for the man
ayers of the State fair. The weather until
De very close of the day was perfect for Il
fair, and every part of the grounds was
thronged As near as could be ascertain
ed Thursday there were between 10000
and 10 900 people on the park during the
day Standing on the grand stand at any
time during the afternoon there seemed
to be one continuous throng of people
around the space enclosed by the track
while over the hill to the north was a jam
of carriages such as one is seldom per-
mitted to see. The grand stand was full
to overlooking all the afternoon and hun
dreds were unable to obtain seats. The
attendance was all that could reasonably
be desired and the fair will undoubtedly
be among the most successful financially
held since the joint exhibition was insti-
tuted.
Thursdays programme was interesting
to the extreme. In the early forenoon
there was miscellaneous driving on the
track and many handsome single and
double drivers were exhibited Next
came the exhibition in front of the grand
stand of the thoroughbred horses, the list
il 3ding Mambrino Archie, Ben Frank
lin, and in fact representatives of all the
leading families of Vermont horses, as
well as many imported. Not the least in
terestng feature of the day was the pro-
cessiOr of oxen which, as one prominent
visitor put it was enough to make ones
eyes water" The various yskes were
large and handsome, and it is safe to say
that longer string of oxen has never
been exhibited in Vermont if indeed
there has been in any other State.
The procession was followed by the test
of draught oxen in which there five en-
pose of testing their drawing capacity was
stone boat loaded with huge blocks of
granite, The yokes entered by Messrs
Morse of Mortified and Warner of Hines
burgh showed up in excellent manner.
Then the two heavy yokes belonging
to Mr.. Waite of BrattlebOro weighing
$500 each were htched to the load and
other blocks We're added. The yoke own
ed by j. p. Nichols of Brattleboro follow
ed. Eight men stood upon the load drawn
by the others and were drawn q consider
able distance, the victory thus being won
for the last yoke which weighed 5000. The
test was witnessed by a large crowd who
were highly pleased and it is safe to say
that the test of draught oxen will, rs it
should, become one of the established
features of the State fair. The races in
the afternoon were clio e, the nearly three
abreast order being followed to the in
tense excitement of thousands of specta-
tors. Everything passed off in a fine
manner. The only drawback was the fact
that some of the visitors were obliged 10
go home in the rain which began falling
at the conclusion of the races.

THE RACES.
Lady Winship and Orwell Win in Three
Straight Heats.

Straight Heats.
The races Thursday We're not, perhaps, as
interesting as upon some of the other days,
yet the interest of the vast crowd present
was held to the close of the contests. In
the 2.35 class the sympathy of the audi
ence seemed to he with Tiny little bay
mare but little larger than some of the
ponies exhibited on the track. She had a
hard pair to beat as the other two in the
race were evidently against her. Orwell
was an easy winner of the four years old
class, and could have shown much faster
mile had there been any necessity for so
doing The judges were Col. George w,
Hooker OF Brattleboro, Wayne Bailey,
Esq, of Rutland and Col. George |. Hie-
glus OF West Concord, the same gentlemen
who have served so efficiently throughout
the meeting thus far. The timers We're

CrOp RepOrtS.

CHICAGO, Sept. 25-The following crop
report summary will be published in
this weeks issue of the Farmers Rerieao:
The reports of crop correspondents,
briefly summarized, give the following
results: Iowa-Reports from twenty
one counties estimate the yield of corn
at 329 bushels per acre; spring wheat at
l09 bushels; oats, 80 bushels; potatoes,
Al bushels; per cent of old corn on hand
SO. Two counties report failure in po-
tatoes and spring wheat.
Wisconsin-Reports from fourteen
counties estimate the yield of corn at 33
bushels per acre; oats, 81 bushels; pota-
toes, 80 bushels. Scarcely any corn on
hand.
Minnesota-Nine counties report esti-
mated yield Of corn at 81 bushels per
acre; spring wheat, 81 bushels; oats, 81
bushels; potatoes. SO bushels.
Since our last report copious rains
have been experienced where it was
badly needed, improving the fall feed
and putting the ground In good condl-
ton for fall blowing and seeding, but
many sections are still badly in need OF
rain. A larger breadth of corn than
ever before Is being cut and shocked for
forage. Water for stock still continues
a serious problem in many localities.

THE case of the man who married his
mother-in-law in this city last week is at
tracing considerable attention. The
Minneapolis Tribune considers that man
who has the nerve to propose to his
mother-in-law is something of hero,
but when it is considered that in the
Mankato case Mr.. Morgan did not even
wait for the formslity of his wife's death
or his father-in-law's divorce. the Trib-
atne man is awed by the exhibition of
phenomenal bravery. The editor goes
on to say:
Delving in the mystic recesses of a
hornets nest in full bloom, or gently
dallying with the more animated portion
of mule would be but child's play, to
what this man has already done. He
has deliberately become father-in-law to
his own wife, kind of quasi-brother-in-
law to his father-in-law and grandfather
to his own children. The children of his
second marriage would be on their moth.
er's side brothers and sisters of his first
wife, and uncles and aunts to his first
children, while on his own side they
would be step-sisters and brothers to his
first children and at the same time his
father-in-law would be their step-father.
The man isactually husband to his moth
er-in-law, mortal enemy of his son-broth-
er-in-law, and worse than a stranger to
his wife-daughter, while his respected
father-in-law appears to be an orphan.
If his wife should marry her father-in-
law and his father-ln-law (the orphan)
should marry his wife's mother-iD-law
his wife would be his mother, her chill.
dren his sisters and brothers, while his
mother would become his mother-in
law, and the statistician who tried to fig
ure out further possible results would
become crazy.

THE Georgia legislature Friday defeat.
ed the infamous Glenn bill, which pro-
posed to consign teachers to chain gang
for educating white and black pupils i'll
the same school. The force of Northern
Indignation has doubtless made itself
felt in Georgia, but the substitute bill is
not creditable TO the people OF that State,
but it is more humane in its penalties.
1t prohibits education, but is made APP
plicable only to those schools supported
wholly or in part by State funds. The
penalty will consist in withdrawing State
aid from offending schools and the per-
petual disqualification of their pupils
from holding any position as teachers in
Georgia. The original bill was aimed at
the University of Atlanta, which Is MAIN
ly supported by Northern money. The
fund contributed by the State is small,
and even this is taken out of money orig
inaily paid to the State bv the General
Should the new law pass
it will not be difficult for the Northern
which has hitherto maintain
ed the university in large part to raise
all the money necessary. So far as the
pupils are concerned, it is probable they
will be able to find work in other States
less brutal in their prejudices. The bill,
even as 1t stands is disgrace to Georg-
ia, but it is something to have saved
white and black teachers from the chain
gang. 1t is hard work to make "nigger
haters" human; but in this case begin
ming is made.

JUDGE COOLEY is reported as saying IN
replying to an inquiry why the Inter
State Commission apparently had ac-
complished so little in the way of re-
dressing grievances against the railroad
companies, that "the commission is
laboring under difficulties of which the
public is ignorant. The commission had
done all in It's power to correct existing
evils, and if it did not succeed in giving
entire satisfaction it was simply due to
the fact that the law was not clear
on many of the points raised.
Hasty action on some of the questions
might have resulted in much greater
dissatisfaction than that caused by the
slow and careful consideration given to
those subjects. Many of the cases
brought against the railroads by ship
pers were not presented in such shape
as to give the commission an opportun-
ity to act intelligently. Many of the
abuses in railroad management and al
legged violations of the law, which were
continually being ventilated in the
newspapers, were not brought to the
attention of the commission by the
proper parties, and the commission
could not possibly be expected to take
action unless proper charges were pre-
ferred and substantiated."
